Tourette syndrome, epilepsy, and emotional disorder, a case of triple comorbidity.
We present a case report illustrating the complexity encountered in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple diagnoses. The clinical presentation in Tourette syndrome, and the behavioural manifestations in some cases of complex partial seizures can both be misunderstood and misdiagnosed. The paper, within the framework of a case, emphasises the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the assessment and management of such cases.
